It not only engrosses the thoughts of public men, but it attracts the interest of those in a private capacity, who do tot ordinarily interfere with the conflicting events of political life. One of the greatest difficulties that arise in the considera tion of this vexed question, is the point of interfer ence cr non-interference. This debateable subject has been very ably treated in a pamphlet lately published, called" Intervention, a Duty or a Crime." These pages go far to prove the insufficiency of the present plan, whether as regards due provision for the interests o! our allies, or a proper respect for the national hot our. The case is treated hen) ill a very fair and equitable manner, and the waverers who may not as yet quite have made up their minds will do well to stu ly the suggestions thus forcibly RoYAL ITALIAN OPERA, Covent-garden.

Truth and honour do not recognise such things as capable of sanctioning broken faith or exculpating false promises and faintheartedness in the performance of duty. Nothing can be put in a simpler or more straightforward manner than this argument. "We have had twelve years to find out the flaws of this Treaty, and to rescind it, if need were, in peace and honour; and now when the time has come to keep it, to keep it with trouble and cost, we are suddenly to discover that the pro test of Schleswig an,:3 Holstein frees us from our engagement. Truly this would be a most conve nient discovery, but it is a new idea of a nation's honour." This is the only true and fitting way to look at the question, if we would carry out the principles of political justice and conform to the suggestions of honour and rectitude. It is one of the greatest shams that have ever been palmed upon the people of this country, this notion that has gained ground in high places and been taken up by some of the n2ost influential of our statesmen, that there j really exists no claim for us to go to war for the preservation of the rights of others, which rights are intimately associated with our own integrity and good faith. Convenience will not do to choose as the ruling motive of our actions, and if we stoop to resort to the doctrine of shuffling expediency in ' Cases where bold and decisive action is wanted, we shall indeed fall from our high estate to draw upon us the scorn and contempt of the world. Some very proper warnings are given in this treatise on the folly of pursuing this timid course that is de nounced, and the great danger to which it leads. " Great nations," it is said, " do not live and grow a greater age by peace and national prosperity." For examples, we are shown Imperial Rome, which fell headlong into ruin when she ceased from action, and gave herself up to the pursuits of luxury. It this is put down to " despotism," it is urged that "democracy" has not been very successful on the other side of the Atlantic. The decision arrived at is, that the only sure and safe methou for a state to pursue is to make the principle of duty its guiding influence and ruling motive. By this means we should not rush into war hastily, nor cling to peace in an ignominious fashion, but calmly and consis tently follow in the right path which may lead through difficulties and danger, but never can con duct to dishonour. It is of no avail for us to be preaching morality to others if lookers-on perceive that we take care not to put our precepts into practice when they would result in our loss or disadvantage. Great stress is here laid on the marked difference that exists in the estimate put upon the words uttered by the English or Frenc'a in periods of emergency. When the French Ear- PEROR makes a remark on foreign affairs of any importance, the Funds of Europe fall in conse quence, but little heed is given to our Ministers impressive utterances or striking statements. Now this is hardly a creditable position for a ration like ours to assume, and it is indeed a solemn warning to all those who persist in advocating the doctrines of upediency, to the detriment of all-important and primary considerations. The bold principle is here laid down, and should be followed is our dealings with foreign nations, that we are to wage war or not as honour commands, and not to listen to the plea of the undertaking being too much for M. If the time comes when a State " does not because it dares not interfere, it has ceased to be a great Power." Such words ought to be written in indelible characters before the eyes of our Tacit lating statesmen, and exemplify the doom they are bringing on their country through their mean and unworthy actions. We cannot have a right to in terfere, end yet have a right to stand still; either it must be our duty to do so, or else we ought not to take action. "If war be not our duty, it is a crime, to which no nation on earth can plead a right," is very properly enunciated here, and evil will betide that nation that does not advocate such doctrines in her councils, and maintain their cheers vance by all in authority under her rule. The writer then proceeds to examine into the question as to whether Denmark has been sufficiently wronged to justify interference. On this point there can be no doubt in the minds of those who have regarded the question at all attentively. An epitome is given of the leading events of the case, and the conclusion is, of course, that injuries have been inflicted upon that nation. Next, the subject is discussed as to whether there exists any pledge which calls upon England to interfere: In support of this many authorities are quoted, and cogent reasons adduced, to prove the necessity of adhering to the original intentions that actuated those who were parties to the Treaty at the outset, and the words of Earl RUSSELL himself are given, which allow that the most obligatory inducements exist for binding us to the fulfilment of the pledges given at the time of the signing of the treaty to which so which involv e so many many nations were parties, and interests to others, besides concerning the welfare of Denmark in its most vital concerns. It is said here that the got the armistice ; we took Emperor of the Fuller / dorit.Not till h e j o i ne d us was all our fine soundi ng ph rases , a t Ja n e y tchriendgi e b e n e t , a h n e d d f i and del us i ve utterances , n w t e n h e took were t h b e u t ty tro e u m b p leto notic e th em. The oon• eluding remarks on England's honour are very well • worthy of notice, and it would be a bright day for us if more attention was paid to th e tr tie meaning of the term. " Her honour is not in "ram glory till less in sh' and warlike achievement, s 'Pa and - - stores and prosperous trade, her honour is to r a i se the standard of Europe, and to maintain the prin. ciple of duty, and to act as GOD'S servant among the nations in upholding truth and righteousness." The sooner we address ourselves to the considera tion of these first principles of right, the better it will be for the crodit of our national name, and the influence we gain over the other nations of the world. No mistake is so grievous as to listen to timorous suggestions of peace when there should be no peace,and to entertain low motives of expediency when we are called upon to vindicate our character from reproach, and to render that service to others which is the proudest privilege of power. It is not necessary in the present day to dilate upon the merits of the English navy. They are too universally admitted, and too cordially recog nised, to require any such enforcement. Never theless, although the English navy is our boasted bulwark,' our " wooden wall" of invincible security, and although the Sailor is especially the darling of the English peopl e , our nav~i officers have to endure many hardships beyond these which are the inevitable results of their condi:on. Among THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1864. many such, hardships which one would imagine only re quire to be pointed out to be amended, there is a peculiar provision in the Pension List which renders valueless the claims of the widows of any naval officers who may have married after reaching the age of sixty. If, at first sight, such an enactment appears in any way reasonable, not a word can assuredly be urged in its favour when we call to mind the peculiar circumstances which surround the domestic life of th© naval officer, and cast a shadow over his home and affections. During the years of his active service he is compelled to separate himself for very long intervals from family and friends. The Soldier's wife may follow her husband across the seas; but the privilege of that dear companionship is not permitted to the Sailor. It is only natural, then, to suppose that in the instance of the Sailor, above all others, late mar riages might be countenanced by law. After years of estrangement from all home associations, the Sailor may. more than all others, be excused if late in life he seeks, in connection with some congenial helpmate, to form "a comfortable couple," after the fashion of TIM LINKIN WATER and Miss LA CREEVY. If he do so, who, remembering the antecedents of his chequered career, shall venture to blame him for thus late in life endeavouring to surround him self with the endearments and ties of a home ? The Legislature does so by placing his widow upon adif ferent footing from the widows of younger men. His widow, the widow of a naval officer who has married after sixty, having no c►aim--no legal claim upon the consideration of that country to whose service her husband has devoted the best years of his life, and perhaps sacrificed the aspirations of his youthful affe.ctioes. Such a clause in the pension-list is not worthy of the generous, devoted people whe are ever ready to contribute with no stinting hand to every worthy claimant; and who so worthy of such endowment as the widows of those who have spent their lives in the service of their country ! The clause we fully believe re quires only to be duly considered in order to be imme diately cancelled. While the principles which govern our chief educational institutions are forming part of the public discussions, and are being closely criticised and examined by men of all parties, preparatory apparently to some legislative change, it is interest ing to turn to a large public school holding its annual festival, and assembling peers and prelates and other dignitaries of the State to do it honour. The Merchant Taylors' Company is indeed some thing than a mere school, being one of the very first of our mercantile bodies, and possessing all those claims to respect and pre-eminence which four cen turies of active and eventful life can give to any institution. The celebration of Saturday was held, however, exclusively in honour of the school which is connected with it. The exciting days of exami nation were over, but the more gratifying and gracious ceremony of awarding the prizes so hardly won was among the first of the day's performances, accompanied as usual by the delivery of orations, the acting of scenes from the dramas of various na tions, and the comments of the head-master on the individual achievements and general conduct of the boys under his care. With the results of the teaching the Merchant Taylors have no reason to be dissatisfied, since out of the eight monitors four have obtained open scholarships this year, and the school can already boast of having ten scholars at Oxford, and six at Cambridge, all doing creditably, according to the testimony of Dr. HESSEY. Al though these statistics and the general ceremony of prizz.giving and recitation might be chiefly inte resting to the youths concerned in it and to their immediate connections, still a scene of the kind possesses its attractions for the grown-up man, busy in the great routine of political, professional, or commercial life. Moralists may speculate on the possible destinies of the heroes of the day, preachers may sermonise on the vanity of human hopes and expectations, and foretel the probable disappoint ments that await ambition; scholars may compare the result of a test like the present with those that attended their own school days; but as a general rule the prevailing feeling is one of genial sympathy for the eager youths, of hearty good wishes for their future success, and of kindly yet touching remem• brance that the grave spectators themselves once formed part of a group as buoyant, as eager, as ambitious. The testimony borne by the head-master to the general good conduct of the boys under his charge was highly gratifying, and proves that the system of discipline adopted in our great schools is not, as some would contend, altogether a failure. At the banquet, as we have said, many of the cele brities of the day were assembled. Law was power fully represented by Lord CHELMSFORD and WENS LEYDALE and several of the judges; politics by Lord STANLEY and Mr. WALPOLE; the Church of England by the Bishop of OXFORD ; science by Professor OWEN ; art by EASTLAKE and LANDSEER ; the Universities by the two senior fellows of St. John's, Oxford, and Dr. WYNTER, whose name has lately been needlessly dragged into a newspaper correspondence ; while a goodly show of Earls and Marquisses proved that the Upper House was not unmindful of the welfare of the Merchant Taylors. The usual complimentary toasts called forth the usual courtly responses, and, perhaps, the only noticeable speech of the evening was Lord STANLEY'S reply to the toast of the House of Com mons. In that brief address the noble lord took occasion to maintain the general character of the House, which he was then representing as a deliberative assembly, possessing in a high degree the confidence of the country. For himself he declared that, during the years in which he had been associated with its members, and had taken part in its deliberations, the stronger had become his respect for its opinions and his faith in the general soundness of its deci sions. This is probably the case with any one who mixes with a great public body drawn from various classes, and representing various shades of feeling and opinion on religious, political, and social mat ters. Where the number is large enough, and the individuals sufficiently varied to represent fairly the great body of the English people, we shall always find a sense of right, a love of fair play, a hatred of oppression, regulated and guided by the sound common sense which is one of the predomi nating characteristics of our countrymen. But, as these qualities are confined to no one class alone, and are no more typical of the peer than of the peasant, there can be no reason to fear any change, or even considerable modification of them, in a new House of Commons which more fairly rep resented the nation at large. On all questions of national interest or importance, the unanimity of Englishme n of all ranks has always been one of their groat safeguards, and there is no reas on to doubt that matters of more diverse nature, foreignpolitics, chan ges i n domestic administration, questions of law, financ e , an d social welfare, would a s calm and careful a con s id era ti on , as tem perate and impartial a discussion as they even do receive now in a House representing not the privileged classes alone, but all ranks of English householders. The days are gone by when mob-orators and demo cratic, leaders would have been selected by th e We may depend upon it th a t n p poorer oclass h o o nf s constituentswill exercise their newly acquired right more prudently, more conscientiously, and more judiciously than our now excluded elec tors when once they are admitted to the franchise. They will be eager to show how well they deserve the privilege, how fairly they are able to judge of these political questions on which they were sup posed to be mere wrongheaded enthusiasts. We trust before lmig that when thanks are returned for the Lower House the speaker may felicitate his hearers on the fact that that House does fairly re present the English people.

The following, says the Morning Post, is the de= duration which was made by the Plenipo!entiaries of Denmark at the sitting of the Conference on the 2nd inst.:— " When, at the period of the conclusion of the Treaty of London, the present King of Denmark accepted the choice made of him to succeed to the then reigning King, his Majesty's resolution was dictated principally and decisively by the firm hope that Europe would know how to maintain that which she had recognised and agreed to by this solemn treaty. His Majesty did not wish by his refusal to interpose an obstacle to the integrity of the Danish monarchy receiving an ulterior guaran tee of stability, and he knew by the renunciations and sacrifices made by those having the right that in accepting the offer made to him he compromised the rights of no one. "Since then things have changed, and his Ma- jesty has been obliged to submit to a most cruel dieappoiritment. l u spite of his own efforts and those of his devoted people—his sole support for the realization of a work in which nearly the whole of Europa had concurred—his Majesty was obliged to take into consideration the possibility that his hopes would not be realized. If it must be so, if the Powers of Europe really wish to abandon the treaty of London, his A,ljesty to avoid the resumption of hostilities would not op pose a territorial cession, provided always that be should attain thereby not only peace, but also an independent, perfect autonomous, existence for that which would remain to him of his States, and on condition that the future destiny of the ceded ter ritories should not be fixed without their consent. " The Danish Government accepts, then, in pin. ciple, the proposition made at the last sitting by Earl Russel! for the re - establishment of peace be tween Denmark and the two great German Powers. " But in order that peace, which we ardently wish for, may be real, it must be under all condi tions which will be necessary to assure to Denmark the independence which comes to her by right, the political independence which the Treaty of London should guarantee to her, and for the preservation of which the Danish people have not hesitated to en gage single-handed in a sanguinary struggle with forces greatly superior to their own. " The Danish Plenipotentiaries feel beand to ob serve from the present time that in the sacrifices wished to be imposed on Denmark there are limits which the Danish Government cannot exceed. "The new frontier of Denmark is a vital question for this country. It is necessary that she s hould possess a frontier having reference to her military and commercial interests, and this frontier ou g ht to be fixed by sufficient guarantees. " There is one other point on which the Danish Government reserves all its freedom. It i s onl y on quite special conditions that his MeieetY the King of Denmark will consent to the cession o f the Duch y of Lanenburg. This country part of Pomerania, to serve as au wa s acquired in his time by the King of Denmark in ex chan g e for a e quivalent for the kingdom of Norway, sac rificed for th e re-esta blishment of the peace of Europe, and it is essen tially foreign to the dispute which ha s caused the p res ent war, " Finally, the Danish Plenipote ntiaries ou g ht to claim for their Government full liberty to reassume the position which it has invariably maintained up to the present time, on the basis of the Treaty of London, as soon as i t sees that the provisional and conditional abandonment of th is p osition will not lead to an equitable and just arrangement fit ting to replace the dispositions of this Treaty." 1 MILITIA REGIMENTS IN TITS UNITED KINGDOM. —A parliamentary return was published yesterday of all regiments of militia in the United Kingdom, showing the number of companies in each regim ent, the strength of each company, the number of privates with the re g iment at the last training, the number enlisted between the sth of April, 1862, and the sth of April, 1863, and between 1863 and 1864, and the sums paid in each regiment for such en listments. From this return is appears that the number of privates present at the t , tithing of 1863 was—For England and Wales, 60,110; for Scotland, 8,542 ; for Ireland, 24,300; total number, 92,952. Frivx es enlisted between the 6th April, 1862, and April, isA, for the United King d0m,29,293; privates enlisted between 1863 and 1864, 29,236. And the sums paid for such enlistments were: For England, £42,044 3s 3d ; for Scotland, £5,001 2s 3d ; for Ireland, £17,273 13s 5d ; total amount, £4,318 18s 11d. ELECTORS IN IRELAND.--A return of the number of electors, according to the registers of 1362 and 1853, in every county, city, and borough in Ireland, exhibit the following results :—The total number of electors in the 32 counties in 1862 was 175,188 ; while in 1863 there was a de3rease, the number being 173,172. In 1862, in the cities and boroughs the registers contained 31,224 names ; in 1863 the number was 30,673.

Hurst and Blackett. _ During a full score of years Mr. Lumley was Director of that great:Lyrical establishment in the Haymarket, familiarly known to our fathers and grandfathers as The King's Theatre, to ourselves as Her Majesty's Theatre, An Operatic Manager at all times is, in his way, somewhat of a Potentate. He lives in the rarified atmosphere of what, by way of especial distinction, is emphatically termed Society. He floats upon the surface of the cream of the cream. He is not simply an unit, but a very important unit in the midst of the Upper Ten Thousand. Nor is this all—his power, influence, prestige, whatever you may like to call it, extends far beyond the walls of his Grand Opera House, wherever that may chance to be situated, whether in Pall-mall or in Covent-garden. It extends far even beyond the outer borders of Mayfair, of .Belgravia, of Tyburnia—it extends beyond the Channel—it ad vances into the capitals of all the great leading Powers of the European Continent—it penetrates into the Cabinets of Statesmen, even into the Cabinets of Sovereigns. Of all this, if attesta tion is required by the incredulous, the fullest and the amplest attestation is certainly afforded by these Reminiscences of Mr. Lumley's. As a reper tory of anecdote, we have not for a long while met with anything at all comparable to these unusually brilliant and most diversified Reminiscences. They reveal the Twenty-years' Ditector of Her Ma jasty's, to us, in the thick and throng of all his radiant associations. They take us luringly—as it were led by the button - hole--behind the scenes, in every sense of that decoying and profoundly attractive phrase. They introduce us to all the stars, now singly, now in very constellations. They bring us rapidly, delightfully, exhilaratingly—as we turn the pages containing them, that ia, con taining these charming recollections—to a know ledge co intimate of what has really been doing there in the Realm of Song, not only behind the scenes and in the green-room, but iu the recep tion apartment of the director himself, that we are au courant with all the whims and oddities of the strange world in which he fills so high and responsible a position. Reading Mr. Lumley, we now know more than we have ever known before of such Queens of the Lyric Stage as Pasta, and Catatani, and Malibran, and °lasi, and Sontag, and Piccolomini—ef such light footed fait i-s of the ballet as Taghoei, and Fanny Eisler and Certto—of such prinzi tenoti as Rabini, and Mario, and Gardoni. and Giuglini— of such baritones us Ronconi and TemburiLi, or of such bassi profondi as the won. arous Scandigl and the mighty L ibiacne. Nay, Mr. Lumley takes us out of the gyre of the footlights, away from the clang of the orchestra into the di earn haunted preseLce of the great composers of the age, bringing us face to face, as it were, among others, with Rossini, and Meucleissofin, and Meyerbeer, and 'Verdi, and Belie, and Donlzetti. Ho lets us into the mysteries of his correspondence in regard to the successful acquisition by him now of an Italian, now of a German artiste, for whom rival Operatic Managers, rival Ministers of State, occasionally even rival Kings and Emperors are contending—he lets us, we say, into the mysteries of his correspondence in respect to such nego tiations, now with Count Cavour, now with Prince Metternich. For—in his doings, in his movements, in his negotiations, Sove reigns, Prime Ministers, Ambassadors, Governments are turn by turn not merely vaguely and cour teously, but directly and profoundly interested! It is pleasantly illustrative of the extraordinary variety of people of eminence in different ways with whom Mr. Lumley, as Director of Her Majesty's Theatre, was brought into familiar communication, according to a homely idiomatic expression, "rubbed elbows," where we foci him mention ing, among a crowd of kindred incidents, the circumstance of his standing iris a via once upon a time with the Emperor Napoleon 111., then Prince Louis Napoleon, in a quadrille with Carlotta Grisi, Cerito 6.nd Taglioui, at the Great Operatic Director's own well-known vi?la at Fulham, " The Caancellor's !'"lnat ultra suburban haunt of the Fashion, viLefe he used to collect together on the "smooth shaven lawns," among the flower beds and the shrubberies, all that was to be found most interesting, season after season, in the West-end districts of the metropolis. The Re miniscences here recounted, in symmetrical order, if not always with the strictest regard to chrono logical arrangement, extend over a period of two and-twenty years, beginning in 1836 and ending in 1858, within which interval lie the score of years, already referred to, as marking the epoch of Mr. Lumley's reign at Her Majesty's, as Director. These twenty years, it would hardly be any extravagance to assert, were, all things considered, the most resplendent in the history of that superb establish ment. Remembering i►, as he does, in the palmiest days of his very memorable management, Mr. Lumley speaks of it, and we can't wonder in the least at his doing so (bearing in mind, that is, what his recollections must be) as " the noblest lyrical theatre of Europe." Troubious though the history of it has been from first to last, it has always been profoundly interesting. It was so in the days of Mr. Taylor, the first lessee of the King's Theatre. Ir, is so still—with such artistes yet on the boards as Titiens and Giuglini—under the skilled and enterprising and undaunted direction of the present manager of Her Majesty's, Mr. Mapleson, From the hands o; Mr. Taylor who, by mortgaging and selling the boxes, began the complications, thenceforth trammelling the enterprise, year after year, increasingly, the establishment passed for a btief time into the possession of Mr. Goold— thence through a series of dis• tressing Chancery suits to Mr. °cold's executor, Mr. Waters--and not long afterwards from the latter to the banker Chambers. The father-in-law of the popular novelist, Mr. Harrison Ainsworth, in other words, that miniature Mudie of his day, Mr. Ebere, first of the Library, later on of the King's Theatre, held the latter for seven tolerably success fa:, at any rate not disastrous, years under his management. He had taken the great opera house at the beginning of those seven years from Mr. Chambers, and at the end of them handed it over to Mr. Laporte. From the management of the last mentioned Director, it 'Jas that the King's Theatre, afterwards Her Majesty's Theatre, passed into the possession, under the direction, under the mastery of Mr. Lumley. Mr. Lumley, as the world knows, originally having to do with the House and its affairs, purely in his capacity as Mr. Laporte's kegs! adviser—finally assuming the sole sway there for twenty memorable years as, himself, in his turn, Lessee and Director. As exemplars at once of the delightfully interesting incidents he here has to recount, and of his sparkling vivacity of manner while recounting them, several passages of the attractive work now under notice tempt us to give them by way of illustrative quota tion. Torn away from the context piecemeal, though they are, given thus though they necessarily must be in a mere fragmentary snape, they will serve to justify our commendation of the book as one more than simply readab.e throughout. A b.Jok as enthralling, let us say, as an anecdotal talk over a cigar in a Richmond-hill balcony, upon a summer's evening, with some most agreeable companion, who, besides being an agree able companion, has a good deal to tell from his own experience, and who, beyond all that, is a bril liant conversationalist. After this fashion, as be I tween the puffs of our cigar, we listen to Mr. Lumley white he thus recounts to us his vivid remembrance of Jenny Lind's Debut The brilliant appearance of the house inside was increased by the presence of the Queen and Prince Albert, the Queen Dowager and Duchess of Kent, who had all come to witness the debut cf Jenny Lind. On the entrance of the newpfirna donna as Alice, tl 3 welcome given to one who, though un known, had already won renown, was unusually enthusiastio. For a few moments she appeared bewildered and " scared, ' but her self - possession returned. Her very first notes seemed to enthral the audience. The cadenza at the end of her opening air—the whole of whioh was listened to with a stillness quite singular—called down a hurricane of applause. From that moment her success was certain. The evening went or, and before it ended, Jenny Lind was'establiehed as the favourite of the English opera public. Voice, style, tieecitieh, manner, acting--all delighted. The triumph was achieved. At the end of the performance, the Queen, who during the entire evening had repeatedly mani,estEd her extreme satisfaction, expressed to me her admiration in a tone and manner that showed how deep an impres sion had been made upon her. " What a beautiful singer 1" " What an actress I " How charming !" " How delight ful I" Those were the exclamations that fell from the lips of her Majesty, whom I had never before seen thus moved to enthusiasm. As the aroma of the regalia floats off into the even ing air from the Richmond balcony, hear him as he discourses about Mademoiselle Riche! : In " Bajazet," in " Andromaque," in " Marie Stuart," she electrified the house, and even in the monotonous "Aridne," of Thomas Corneille, and the dull" Tancrede," of Voltaire, she worked up her audience by the great force of her impersonations to a state of frantic admiration, Great indeed must have been the power of this young actress to have not only reconciled the English taste to the un congenial cluseicalities of French " legitimate" tragedy,b u t to have produc e d iu her audience It positive enthusiasm. It is a genuine fact, that many ladies fainted from emo tion During these representations. One was carried in sensible from the theatre, in spite of all efforts to recover her. Ou this circumstance neing told to an American manager, he exclaimed, " Oh, that's nothing 1 she ought to have died in the theatre 1 the effect would have been tremenduus.—what a good puff lost 1" The humble origin of Mademoiselle Itachel is well known; but few perhaps are aware that she had not received in her youth the com monest rudiments of education, and that she taught herself writing merely by copying the manuscript of others. On her first introduction into high society she was greatly embarrassed by the conventions of the table, and the ques tion that once arose in her mind, at a grated dinner, as to the proper use of the knife and fork in the consumption of asparagus, was infinitely embarrassing. Among the earliest of his recollections, he thus re lates the stirring aspect of the King's Theatre during the height of " The Tamburini Kow The famous omnibus boxes were filled towards the con clusion of the opera, with the fashionable allies of the coalition; and it was from this quarter that, on the fall of the curtain, the uproar first commenced. Shouts of " Tam burini "Laporte " ramburiui I" wets taken up and echoed by partisans, and east') - led public clamourers, in various parts of the house; whilst many of the genuine public raised the counter cries of " Shame 1" "No inti midation I" "Don't be bullied I" and even evidenced their sense of the real cause of the disturbance by shouting, "Turn out the omnibus l'' responded to by the occupants with cries of " You had better try." Several times Monsieur Laporte appeared, and endeavoured to address the audience, but the deafening clamour rendered him inaudible. Yells, hisses, shouts, over powered every other sound. A sort of stormy conference tuck place during this scene of contusion between the ma. uager and the tenants of the omnibus boxes, whose rage seemed to increase as the "row" warmed their blood. 'rue curtain at lust ruse upon the ballet. Cerito was that evening to have made her first appearance. Fur more than an hour the scared coryphees stood ready to begin. In vain 1 For the fourth Lane M. Laporte appeared. He seemed to have succumbed, for in auewer to direct appeals on the point, he promised to make propositions to Tarnburini. But even this did not appear sufileierit to the originators of the row. ''hey still hooted, and at last, the whole of the noble and fashionable occupants of the crnnibua bexes leaped on the stage, among them a young Prince the Blood. The cur tain now fell definitively, and, amidst the sympathetic cheers or one portion of the house and the hootines of another, the pilaw chevaliers 01 the " omnibus" waved their hats triumphantly, and shouted " Victory !" Altogether these " lianintscenua" of Mr. Lumley, is Operatic Manager for twenty years at the Greai Lyrical Theatre in the 11,y market, ought to have been written ! And now that, in recognition of this fact by Mr. Lumley himself, they have been written thus delightfully and, all will admit, most amus iegly, we are rejoiced that they have been jotted Gown and given to the world during his own life• time, by the well4inovvn Thrector's own hand, almost, we had said, in the very form, certainly with all the authority of an autobiography. A. Fatal Error; or, The 1 7yviannes. By J. Mas , terman. Two Vo:s. Smith, Eider, end C The story of Constance Vyvianne—who arrives, a little timid child, from India, to prove a bone of contention to her uncongenial relatives—in the fret chapter--who, shortly afterwards, falling into the hands of a novel-reading lady, undergoes a danger ous apprenticeship of sentimentality—and who ulti mately, under the influence of the "fatal error" which overcasts the sunshine of her life, enacts (under mistaken views) the part of a heroine, is a most interesting story, and is most charmingly narrated. We cannot but think the conduct of Constance, even under her " error," a great mistake, but we shall not here enter into a particular ana lysis of that conduct lest we should reveal the mystery of the book. The first volume, and the early portion of the second, before the occurrence of the event which leads to the " fatal error," is by far the must pleasing. The various characters are very happily delineated, and the domestic sketches are singularly attractive. Bolton Lance, the lively sailor hero, is a most delightful character, and assuredly deserves better treatment than he meets with from his mistaken bride. Major Vyvianne is gay and seifish, and Gabriel Lance, his admiring shadow, occasionally appears to be an imitation of Lord Dundreary. 'lhe first volume is enlivened by an election, and the second con tains a very interesting account of the rescue cit some miners, buried in the earth. The conver sations with which both volumes abound are, for the most part, sprightly and animated, and the novel-reader who seeks to be pleasurably enter tained will indeed commit a " fatal error" if he neglect to make acquaintance with " The Vy vise nee."

The Girls' Journal, Parts I. and IL The " boys" have for some time past had a maga zine of their own, and now a new periodical makes its appearance for the benefit of the "girls." The contents appear to resemble the Family Herald and the Lady's Newspaper, without possessing the par ticular merits of either. Tao " patterns" given may be very acceptable for the work-table, and the novelettes may wile away a passing hour, but we could wish for the leisure hours of the girls of Eng land a more profitable employment. Instead of imitating the sensational effects now so much admired by older novel writere, the projectors of this new journal should endeavour to grace its pages with simple tales of sterling merit, such as the writings of Maria Edgeworth and Mary Russet Mitfterd. A reprint of some of those deservedly popular works, with original stories of a similar character, such as Miss Ty tler or the author of the " Heir of Redelyffe" might contribute, would render the Girls' Journal a valuable and enduring publi cation.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE KING OF BAVARIA' A letter from Munich states that Log Louis, a short time since, met with an accident which might have cost him his life.

To give, we suppose, an insight into the after life of the celebrated nobleman, who has attracted such crowded audiences td the Haymarket, Mr. Sothern last night appeared in a new ono act farce by Mr. H. J. Byron, entitled " Lord Duudreary, Married and I),n:ie. For." The public were too well pleased to meet again with his lordship under any circum stances, and, as a married man, he was most cordially welcomed. The curtain rises, and the elegant drawing -Nona in his country villa is discovered, and in a few minutes after the audience at once be' come aware of the fact that his wife's mother is both master and mistress of the entire establishment. Mrs. Mountchessingto❑ has become Lady Tree chard, and to relieve her darling Georgiana from the cares and anxieties of housekeeping, she Lisa take❑ upon herself the entire direction of affairs, his lordship being looked upon as nobody. Al l the affectionate family quarter themselves at bill lordship's residence ; one wears his clothes, Bracket' his cigars, and borrows his money; another rides and breaks the knees of his favourite horse; another is constantly pestering him to obtain an appoint' ment for him ; and, to make up the full measure of discomfort, another is carrying on a flirtation with a lady named Emily, for which Lord Dandrearl is made the scapegoat. The boys, or someone else, steals the fruit out of his orchard, so that on calculation his lordship arrives at the fact that Ilia gooseberries cost him about fifteen shillingse piece. This state of affairs is brought to a climax by bi B mother-in-law bringing in a builder and givi n g directions for the reconstruction of the drawing' room ; but, throsgh the help of the Yankee, Asa 'frenchard, Dandreary rebels against the tyranny of his mother-in-law, and amidst a tremendous di"' struction of glass and china he proclaims his in ded pendence, and send his relations to tie right about• There is a good deal of fun about the trifle, and although the puns are not of the most brilliant description, the audience enjoy and laugh at then with hearty goodwill. The piece was a perfect success, and will ensure crowded audiences until the close of the season, which is fixed for the 6 t h of July. ADELPHI TRUATRE. The termination of Miss Batsman's engagement having created a necessity for other entertainments , Mr. Webster wisely, we think, has r eproduced Mr. Watts Phillips's exciting drama " The Dead Heart," in which the accomplished actor and manager represents the leading chara cter, Robe rt Landry. Mr. Webster was neve r m ' re success fu l thall in his assumption of this very difficult part; and last evening all the varied phases of the cha racter were developed w i t h a care and freshness wor combinesth in a ythehighest praise.

From first to lost nis admirable perfozaiance of the hero in " T ee Dyad Heart" induced the utmost attention of the entire assembly, and on the fall of the curtain th e ,Applause was long, genuine, and enthusiastic.
